Could you ask for better weather yesterday? I loved the race. PR for me and finally under the 3 hour mark at 2:55:16. I also like the fact that my family could take part in the food after the race. Bad part is it looks as if my chip wasn't working because I wasn't anywhere on the list. Great job with the race Kevin, can't wait to do it next year. I would also like to apologize to everyone who had to run around my truck, it broke down coming out of transtion on the run. My wife was driving it and the brakes locked up. They where able to back it up onto the grass. I ran right by it coming on my way back in and didn't even see it.

Sucks that your chip didn't work. I wonder if that happened to lots of people since I saw nearly 250 registered online yet only 204 finishers listed. Maybe there were a lot of DNS or DNF but seems like a high rate. I wish the splits listed transition times as well but looks like T1 was lumped into bike time and T2 into run time (I do have my real splits on my garmin at least). Obviously garmins aren't exact but mine registered this course short - a little short on the swim and I know I didn't swim a perfect line, about 0.9 miles short on bike and 0.3 miles short on run.

This was my first Olympic distance. I loved the race. Overcast and 60s-70s in August - are you kidding me? Weather could not have been better. I really like the olympic race distance. Looking forward to more next year and possibly a HIM.

I did notice that on the bike course on the website. Comparing my garmin to the run map from website, I can see where the course was cut a little short on one small section. Of course, with the long uphill run from the lake to T1, I'm sure we ran over 10k!
